Predicted for 31. August 2026
·
Based on: Ongoing Event
The EU has adopted a new Russia sanctions package roughly every 2–4 months since February 2022. The 13th package came into force in early 2026. Given the ongoing Ukraine war, active US-EU coordination, and internal political pressure (especially following Russian drone strikes on Kyiv, per platform forecast), another package by August 2026 is highly likely. Each package typically lists 30–100 new entities. Risk: blockade by individual member states (historically: Hungary) has not produced a permanent veto effect.

Current Swedish polls (July 22, 2026) show Socialdemokraterna at 32.4% (PolitPro trend) and 32.2% (Polara 30-day average) — clearly above the 30.0% threshold. At the 2022 Riksdag election they received 30.3%. This prediction complements the open forecast ('bourgeois bloc M+KD+L+SD > 50%') without contradicting it: both scenarios occurred simultaneously in 2022. No Polymarket anchor; calibrated against current polling data.

The US imposed new Section 301 tariffs of 12.5% on Chinese goods in 2026; China announced countermeasures. Possible summit platforms: UN General Assembly September 2026, G20 November 2026, or bilateral. Precedent: Trump-Xi meeting in Osaka (G20 2019) during a trade dispute. Both sides have signaled willingness to negotiate. Polymarket: no specific market for this event; estimate 42% – strong incentive to meet, but timing and Taiwan/South China Sea escalation risk are uncertain.

Current polls (PolitPro/Novus/Demoskop, July 2026) show the left bloc (S+V+MP+others) at ~47.2% combined, the centre-right bloc (SD, M, KD, L) at ~52.8%. Social Democrats lead individually at 32.2–32.4% (separate open forecast ≥29%), but the right bloc leads in the overall aggregate. A threshold of >50% from a polling level of 52.8% leaves adequate buffer. No direct Polymarket contract found.
